Engagement in Learning Community

During this course I have spent the past few weeks engaging in on-line learning communities.  I followed @TeachThought  and learned valuable information on multiple ways teachers can utilize technology in the classroom.  One particular podcast I watched was titled:Coming to Terms With the 21st Century Classroom.

This podcast provides research and tips on keeping up with technology use of technology in classrooms.

I was also able to find helpful resources on TeachThought website.  One article that captured my interest was  Alternatives to Letter Grades in Education.  This article provide 12 ways to give alternative letter grades for students.  Click on the following link for more information: http://teachthought.com/pedagogy/12-alternatives-to-letter-grades-in-education
